I've been lucky enough to be a tour guide in Normandy since 2007 after having studied tourism in Paris. I couldn't have imagined then how much I would value each day I live and work in this wonderful and historic region. Whether you've been reading about the sites you want to see here in Normandy and have finally managed to get the chance to come and see it for yourself, or you just want you and your family to develop a better understanding of the events that happened here, I appreciate that this is very likely a once in a lifetime occassion and I will try to make your visit an unforgettable experience for you. As a visual person I need to see something with my own eyes to try to understand it and I think many people are like this as well. Consequently I work with maps and photos to help you to understand locations and how and why things happened there. It's also great to see the difference between then and now. I only give private tours because I believe that conversations during our day together make all the difference. We can walk out on the beach as much as you want, and whenever anything isn't clear, please just ask a question, that's why I'm here! Often visitors end their day with me and say they've enjoyed learing about the history of the events, but what I find so passionate about it is that everyone has their own interests and perhaps personal stories to share. I will talk about the overall history (and for the D-Day tours this will include as well personal and local stories of people involved). Whenever I can, I'll take little side streets to show you what Normandy really looks like and how people live, and lived, out here in the country side. If you think that I might be the guide you are looking for, come on tour with me for a great journey!

Eva’s tour was delightful. She is so familiar with every aspect of the main attraction and the surrounding country side, and her diverse background adds so much to the overall experience. I can’t recommend her work enough.

Eva was spot on for the entire tour of Mt. St MIchelle. She was informative and provided insight into the Abbey tour. We highly recommend her. Mark Pittman

Eva gave us a very enjoyable tour of Mont-Saint Michel and all surrounding areas. She is extremely knowledgeable and makes the tour very personal. She is a great driver and very enjoyable to spend a day with on a tour like this. Thanks so much!

This was our second day with Eva and again she was a great guide and host. Her knowledge of Mount St. Michelle was again fantastic. She also knew exactly how to get around the island and avoid some of the crowd. She picked us up first thing in the morning at our hotel in Caen, right on time. Took us to Mount St. Michelle and explained all the history and back stories to the island along with telling us about the current history and stories of the local area. Just a great job.
